American ginseng, goldenseal and American bugbane in Pennsylvania: habitat, geography, chemistry, and commerce
In the eastern United States, there is interest among forest landowners in American ginseng husbandry, and particularly in cultivating this plant on forestlands using a wild-simulated forest farming approach. This study documented the flora and soil conditions associated with wild and wild-simulated ginseng populations throughout Pennsylvania (PA) to develop floristic “indicators” that can be used to identify supportive growing sites on forestlands.
